Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically relating to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] The display window in the display unit is one of the essential functional components of cooking appliances. The light information in the display panel can be projected onto the display window, allowing users to observe the cooking information of the cooking appliance from the outside, such as cooking mode, remaining cooking time, and gas pressure inside the pot.

[0003] There are generally three structural types of existing display windows: glass panels, film-coated structures, and IMD structures. Among them, glass panel display windows are made of glass, which has a higher manufacturing cost. They also require a panel bracket to be installed with cooking utensils. During installation, the panel bracket must first be glued to the cooking utensils with silicone adhesive, and then the panel bracket is fixed to the cooking utensils with screws or other means. This makes the assembly process for display windows cumbersome, difficult, and inefficient.

[0004] The display window in a film-type structure consists of a film applied to the surface of the cooking appliance, forming the display window. The film is attached to the outer surface of the appliance using adhesive. However, when the edges of the film get wet or are scratched, it is prone to peeling off, severely affecting the appearance. Furthermore, precise positioning is required when applying the film; misalignment will affect the adhesion after re-application, making assembly difficult and hindering the installation and removal of the display window.

[0005] In-mold decoration (IMD), also known as paint-free technology, integrates a film with the surface of cooking utensils through injection molding to form a display window. However, the display window formed by IMD requires fixing with screw holes, clips, and other structures. The processing of these structures can affect the flow of molten plastic during injection molding, resulting in appearance defects such as shrinkage marks, which seriously affect the appearance quality of both the display window and the cooking utensils. Furthermore, the connection methods of screws and clips are also relatively complex, limiting the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the display window. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a cooking appliance to solve the problem of cumbersome assembly steps and high assembly difficulty leading to low assembly efficiency in the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A cooking appliance includes a pot body, a pot lid, and a display component. The pot body or the pot lid has a mounting portion for mounting the display component. The display component includes a display panel bracket and a display panel. The mounting portion has an opening corresponding to the display area of ​​the display panel. The cooking appliance also includes a display window, which is rotatably fixed to the mounting portion to cover the opening.

[0009] In this invention, the display component is installed inside the mounting part, the display area of ​​the display panel corresponds to the opening of the mounting part, and the display window is fixed to the opening to cover it. This allows the display information of the display area of ​​the display panel to be projected onto the display window through the opening, and thus seen by the user from the outside. The display window can be directly fixed to the mounting part by rotation, without the need for brackets or other components, thus simplifying the assembly process and the overall structure of the cooking appliance, saving costs. Furthermore, when assembling the display window with the mounting part, it is only necessary to close the opening of the display window; precise positioning of the display window is not required, further reducing assembly difficulty.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating fixing method simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the display window and the mounting part, offering significant advantages in streamlined assembly lines and greatly increasing production capacity. Whether assembled automatically or manually, only simple operations are required, greatly improving assembly efficiency. Moreover, for films and glass panels, the adhesive process used in assembling them with cooking utensils makes disassembly difficult. Once removed, the adhesive loses its stickiness and becomes unusable, requiring cleaning of residual adhesive and re-application, making maintenance and replacement inconvenient. In this invention, the display window is mounted to the mounting part by a rotating fixing method. This allows for easy removal and reinstallation of the display window by simply rotating it, greatly improving its versatility and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0011] The opening edge is provided with fixed ribs spaced circumferentially, and a clearance gap is formed between adjacent fixed ribs. The edge of the display window is provided with snap-fit ​​ribs, which have an unlocked state corresponding to the clearance gap and a locked state corresponding to the fixed ribs.

[0012] In this design, the fixing rib along the opening edge can stop the locking rib along the edge of the display window, preventing the display window from detaching from the opening and locking it in place. The clearance gap allows the display window to smoothly extend into the opening. Specifically, when installing the display window, first align the locking rib with the clearance gap, then insert the display window into the opening, allowing the fixing rib to enter the mounting part. During this process, the clearance gap prevents interference with the mounting part and ensures unobstructed insertion. Then, rotate the display window to align the fixing rib with the inner side of the locking rib, completing the locking of the display window and the mounting part. Conversely, when removing the display window, there is no need to apply significant force to pull it out of the opening. Simply rotate the display window in the opposite direction to align the locking rib with the clearance gap, switch to the unlocked state, and the display window can be easily removed from the opening. This greatly improves the efficiency of installing and removing the display window, and the installation process does not exert significant pressure on the mounting part, ensuring the quality of the mounting part and preventing deformation due to pressure.

[0013] The snap-fit ​​ribs are multiple and spaced apart circumferentially along the display window. At least some of the snap-fit ​​ribs include a first extension section extending axially along the display window and a second extension section extending circumferentially along the display window. The first extension section and the second extension section form a limiting space for accommodating and fixing the ribs.

[0014] In this design, at least part of the snap-fit ​​rib includes a first extension and a second extension, which together form a limiting space. When the display window is rotated to the locked state, the fixing rib is located within the limiting space. At this time, the first extension is located at one end of the fixing rib along the circumference of the display window, and the second extension is located inside the fixing rib. The second extension can stop the fixing rib in the axial direction of the display window, thereby restricting the display window from coming out of the opening. When the display window is rotated to the locked state, the first extension can stop the fixing rib in the circumferential direction of the display window to restrict the display window from continuing to rotate. At the same time, it can also provide force feedback to the assembler, allowing the assembler to know the status of the display window.

[0015] The snap-fit ​​ribs include a first snap-fit ​​rib and a second snap-fit ​​rib arranged along the circumference of the display window. The length of the first snap-fit ​​rib in the circumferential direction of the display window is greater than the length of the second snap-fit ​​rib in the circumferential direction of the display window.

[0016] In this design, the snap-fit ​​ribs on the circumferential side of the display window include a first snap-fit ​​rib and a second snap-fit ​​rib. The length of the first snap-fit ​​rib is greater than that of the second snap-fit ​​rib, which can prevent the display window from being installed incorrectly. During the assembly process, the first snap-fit ​​rib can be used as a reference to help the assembler position the display window in the set posture before installation, thereby improving the position and posture stability of the display window.

[0017] The snap-fit ​​rib has a guide slope at one end of the display window facing the fixed rib in the circumferential direction.

[0018] In this design, the guide slope can contact the fixed rib to guide the movement, allowing the snap-fit ​​rib to move smoothly to the inside of the fixed rib. This avoids interference between the fixed rib and the snap-fit ​​rib during the rotation of the display window due to processing errors or assembly errors, which could lead to a jamming sensation or assembly problems.

[0019] The display panel is fixed to the display panel bracket. The display panel bracket is provided with a viewing port corresponding to the display area of ​​the display panel. A limiting part is provided on the outer periphery of the viewing port. The display window is provided with a mating part corresponding to the limiting part. One of the mating part and the limiting part is a limiting groove, and the other is a limiting rib that mates with the limiting groove to restrict the rotation of the display window.

[0020] In this design, the limiting part and the mating part work together to limit the rotation of the display window, preventing it from rotating relative to the mounting part. This keeps the display window locked and prevents it from detaching from the mounting part. Therefore, during assembly, the display window is first installed on the mounting part, locking it in the locked state. Then, the display panel bracket is assembled to the inside of the mounting part, and the limiting part and the mating part engage to restrict the rotation of the display window. Similarly, when disassembling the display window, the display panel bracket must first be removed from the inside of the mounting part. At this point, the limiting part and the mating part disengage, losing their restriction on the rotation of the display window. Then, the display window can be rotated to remove it from the mounting part.

[0021] The mating part is a limiting rib, and the display window includes a display panel and a surrounding rib extending from the display panel into the mounting part. The limiting rib includes a first limiting rib and a second limiting rib. The protrusion height of the first limiting rib is higher than that of the surrounding rib, and the protrusion height of the second limiting rib is not higher than that of the surrounding rib.

[0022] In this design, the first and second limiting ribs protrude at different heights, which serves to prevent incorrect installation of the display window, ensuring that the assembly personnel position the display window correctly before installation. Simultaneously, using the surrounding ribs as a reference, the first limiting rib is higher than the surrounding ribs, while the second limiting rib is not higher. Therefore, the assembly personnel can visually identify the location of the first limiting rib and use it as a reference to quickly adjust the orientation of the display window, improving the assembly experience and efficiency.

[0023] The edge of the display panel bracket is provided with a flange extending toward the interior of the mounting section to form a receiving cavity, in which the display panel is fixed.

[0024] In this design, the display panel is fixed within the receiving cavity, causing the display panel bracket to enclose the panel. This enhances the protection of the display panel by preventing its edges from colliding with other components and causing damage, thus extending the panel's lifespan. Furthermore, the folded edge also focuses the light emitted from the display panel, allowing it to be projected more intensely onto the display window, resulting in clearer content and preventing light from scattering outwards from the panel's edges.

[0025] The pot body includes an outer cover and a base located below the outer cover. The mounting part is located on the side wall of the outer cover, the display assembly is located inside the outer cover, and the display panel bracket has a first connecting part for fixed connection with the outer cover and a second connecting part for fixed connection with the base.

[0026] In this solution, the display panel bracket is fixedly connected to both the outer cover and the base, which improves the installation stability of the display components, reduces the possibility of positional displacement of the display components, and ensures the display effect.

[0027] The display window is a structure made of black material with a light transmittance of 10%-15%.

[0028] In this design, when the display panel's backlight is on, it projects onto the display window, allowing users to clearly see the displayed information from the outside. Simultaneously, when the display panel's backlight is off, the black display window creates a holographic effect, enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the device.

[0043] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a cooking appliance includes a pot body 1, a pot lid 2, and a display component 3. The pot body 1 or the pot lid 2 has a mounting part 11 for mounting the display component 3. The display component 3 includes a display panel bracket 31 and a display panel 32. The mounting part 11 is provided with an opening 12 corresponding to the display area of ​​the display panel 32. The cooking appliance also includes a display window 4, which is rotatably fixed to the mounting part 11 to cover the opening 12.

[0048] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the location of the mounting part 11. In one embodiment, the mounting part 11 is located on the upper surface of the pot lid 2, that is, the display position is located on the pot lid 2, the display component 3 is located inside the pot lid 2, and the display window 4 closes the opening 12 from the top. In another embodiment, the mounting part 11 is located on the side of the pot body 1, that is, the display position is located on the pot body 1, the display component 3 is located inside the pot body 1, and the display window 4 closes the opening 12 from the outside.

[0049] In this invention, the display component 3 is installed inside the mounting part 11, the display area of ​​the display panel 32 corresponds to the opening 12 of the mounting part 11, and the display window 4 is fixed to the opening 12 to cover it. This allows the display information of the display area of ​​the display panel 32 to be projected onto the display window 4 through the opening 12, and thus seen by the user from the outside. The display window 4 can be directly fixed to the mounting part 11 by rotation, without the need for other components such as a bracket. This simplifies the assembly process and the overall structure of the cooking appliance, saving costs. Furthermore, when assembling the display window 4 with the mounting part 11, it is only necessary to cover the opening 12 with the display window 4; precise positioning of the display window 4 is not required, further reducing assembly difficulty.

[0050] Furthermore, the rotating fixing method simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the display window 4 and the mounting part 11, offering significant advantages during streamlined assembly on a production line and greatly increasing production capacity. Whether assembled automatically or manually, only simple operations are required, thereby greatly improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, for film and glass panels, the adhesive process required during assembly with cooking utensils makes disassembly difficult. Once removed, the adhesive loses its stickiness and becomes unusable, necessitating cleaning of residual adhesive and re-application, thus making repair and replacement inconvenient. In this invention, the display window 4 is mounted to the mounting part 11 by rotation. This allows for easy removal of the display window 4 from the mounting part 11 by simply rotating it, and it can be reinstalled by rotation. This significantly improves the versatility of the display window 4 and reduces repair and replacement costs.

[0052] It should be noted that this invention does not limit the relative size of the display window 4 and the opening 12, as long as the display window 4 can completely cover the opening 12. For example, the area of ​​the display window 4 can be larger than the area of ​​the opening 12. For instance, the display window 4 can cover the entire upper surface of the pot lid 2, with the area corresponding to the opening 12 being a light-transmitting area. In this way, the display window 4 not only serves a display function but also decorates the outer surface of the cooking appliance, enhancing the overall quality. For example, ... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the area of ​​the display window 4 can be adapted to the area of ​​the opening 12, and then the fixing structure is set at the edge of the opening 12, so that the display window 4 is fixed at the edge of the opening 12, thereby covering the opening 12.

[0053] Since the display window 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting part 11 by rotation, in order to facilitate relative rotation between the two, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the display window 4 is preferably designed as a circular structure, and similarly, the opening 12 is also circular.

[0054] This utility model does not limit the fixing method of the display window 4 and the mounting part 11. In a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the opening 12 is provided with fixed protrusions 121 spaced circumferentially along its edge, and a clearance gap 122 is formed between adjacent fixed protrusions 121. The edge of the display window 4 is provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions 41, which have an unlocked state corresponding to the clearance gap 122 and a locked state corresponding to the fixed protrusions 121.

[0055] The fixing rib 121 at the edge of the opening 12 can stop the locking rib 41 at the edge of the display window 4, thus preventing the display window 4 from coming out of the opening 12 and locking the display window 4 at the opening 12. The clearance gap 122 can avoid the locking rib 41, allowing the display window 4 to be smoothly inserted into the opening 12. Specifically, when installing the display window 4, first align the locking rib 41 with the clearance gap 122, then insert the display window 4 into the opening 12, so that the fixing rib 121 enters the mounting part 11. During this process, because the clearance gap 122 avoids the locking rib 41, the insertion of the display window 4 will not interfere with the mounting part 11 and will not be obstructed. Then, rotate the display window 4 so that the fixing rib 121 rotates to the locking state corresponding to the inner side of the locking rib 41, thus completing the locking of the display window 4 and the mounting part 11. Conversely, when disassembling the display window 4, it is not necessary to apply a large force to pull it out of the opening 12. Simply rotate the display window 4 in the opposite direction so that the locking rib 41 aligns with the clearance gap 122, switch to the unlocked state, and the display window 4 can be easily removed from the opening 12. This greatly improves the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the display window 4, and does not exert a large compressive force on the mounting part 11 during the assembly and disassembly process, ensuring the quality of the mounting part 11 and preventing deformation of the mounting part 11 due to compression.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the display window 4 can also be rotatably fixed to the mounting part 11 in other ways. For example, threads can be provided on the edge of the opening 12 and on the outer periphery of the display window 4, so that the two are fixed by screwing them together. Alternatively, other snap-fit ​​structures can be designed to achieve rotatable snap-fit ​​between the two.

[0057] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the display window 4 has an annular surrounding rib 42 extending toward the interior of the mounting portion 11, and a snap-fit ​​rib 41 is provided on the outer wall of the surrounding rib 42. This ensures that the snap-fit ​​rib 41 is located on the outer periphery of the display window 4, so that even if the display window 4 is formed by injection molding and appearance defects such as shrinkage marks are formed at the snap-fit ​​rib 41, they will not appear on the appearance surface of the display window 4.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple snap-fit ​​ribs 41 and they are spaced apart circumferentially along the display window 4. At least part of the snap-fit ​​ribs 41 include a first extension section 411 extending axially along the display window 4 and a second extension section 412 extending circumferentially along the display window 4. The first extension section 411 and the second extension section 412 form a limiting space 413 for accommodating and fixing the rib 121.

[0059] At least part of the snap-fit ​​rib 41 includes a first extension 411 and a second extension 412. The first extension 411 and the second extension 412 form a limiting space 413. When the display window 4 is rotated to the locked state, the fixing rib 121 is located within the limiting space 413. At this time, the first extension 411 is located at one end of the fixing rib 121 along the circumference of the display window 4, and the second extension 412 is located inside the fixing rib 121. The second extension 412 can stop the fixing rib 121 in the axial direction of the display window 4, thereby restricting the display window 4 from coming out of the opening 12. When the display window 4 is rotated to the locked state, the first extension 411 can stop the fixing rib 121 in the circumferential direction of the display window 4, thereby restricting the display window 4 from continuing to rotate. At the same time, it can also provide force feedback to the assembly personnel, so that the assembly personnel can know the status of the display window 4.

[0060] Specifically, in one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​ribs 41 of the display window 4 in the circumferential direction all include a first extension 411 and a second extension 412, so that the display window 4 can form stops in both the axial and circumferential directions with the fixing ribs 121 at multiple points in the circumferential direction, so that the display window 4 is subjected to more uniform force and the possibility of tilting or loosening is reduced.

[0061] In another embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the partially snap-fit ​​rib 41 includes a first extension section 411 and a second extension section 412. The partially snap-fit ​​rib 41 only includes the second extension section 412 that extends in the circumferential direction, so as to simplify the structure of the snap-fit ​​rib 41 while ensuring the stability of the fixation, thereby saving costs and reducing the processing difficulty.

[0062] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​rib 41 includes a first snap-fit ​​rib 415 and a second snap-fit ​​rib 416 arranged along the circumference of the display window 4. The length of the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 in the circumferential direction of the display window 4 is greater than the length of the second snap-fit ​​rib 416 in the circumferential direction of the display window 4.

[0063] The circumferential snap-fit ​​ribs 41 of the display window 4 include a first snap-fit ​​rib 415 and a second snap-fit ​​rib 416. The length of the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 is greater than that of the second snap-fit ​​rib 416, so it can play a role in preventing the display window 4 from being installed incorrectly. During the assembly process, the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 can be used as a reference to help the assembler to position the display window 4 in the set posture before installation, thereby improving the position and posture stability of the display window 4.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, there is only one first snap-fit ​​rib 415. This allows for visual identification of the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 and the second snap-fit ​​rib 416 during assembly. The display window 4 can then be adjusted with the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 as a reference. For example, the display window 4 can be rotated so that the first snap-fit ​​rib 415 is directly above it.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​rib 41 has a guide slope 414 at one end of the display window 4 facing the fixed rib 121 in the circumferential direction.

[0066] The guide slope 414 can contact the fixed protrusion 121 to play a motion guiding role, so that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 41 can move smoothly to the inside of the fixed protrusion 121. This avoids interference between the fixed protrusion 121 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 41 during the rotation of the display window 4 due to processing errors or assembly errors, which could lead to a jamming feeling or assembly problems.

[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, the guide slope 414 can be formed by making the thickness of the local area of ​​the snap-fit ​​rib 41 gradually change in the circumferential direction. For example, the thickness of the stop rib is smallest at the end near the fixed rib 121, and the thickness of the stop rib gradually increases as it extends away from the fixed rib 121, thereby forming the guide slope 414.

[0068] In one embodiment, the display window 4 can rotate in one direction (e.g., counterclockwise or clockwise) to engage the locking rib 41 with the fixed rib 121, in which case the guide slope 414 is provided at one end of the locking rib 41. In another embodiment, the engagement of the locking rib 41 and the fixed rib 121 can be achieved by rotating the display window 4 in both directions (counterclockwise and clockwise), in which case the guide slope 414 can be provided at both ends of the locking rib 41.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least part of the snap-fit ​​rib 41 includes a first extension 411 extending axially along the display window 4 and a second extension 412 extending circumferentially along the display window 4. The first extension 411 is located at one end of the second extension 412 circumferentially, and the guide slope 414 is disposed on the second extension 412 and located at the other end opposite to the first extension 411.

[0070] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the display panel 32 is fixed to the display panel bracket 31. The display panel bracket 31 is provided with a viewing port 312 corresponding to the display area of ​​the display panel 32. A limiting part is provided on the outer periphery of the viewing port 312. The display window 4 is provided with a mating part corresponding to the limiting part. One of the mating part and the limiting part is a limiting groove 313, and the other is a limiting rib that mates with the limiting groove 313 to restrict the rotation of the display window 4.

[0071] The limiting part and the mating part cooperate to limit the rotation of the display window 4, preventing it from rotating relative to the mounting part 11. This keeps the display window 4 locked and prevents it from detaching from the mounting part 11. Therefore, during assembly, the display window 4 can be first installed on the mounting part 11 to lock it in place. Then, the display panel bracket 31 is assembled to the inside of the mounting part 11, and the limiting part and the mating part are engaged to limit the rotation of the display window 4. Similarly, when disassembling the display window 4, the display panel bracket 31 must first be removed from the inside of the mounting part 11. At this point, the limiting part and the mating part are disengaged, losing their restriction on the rotation of the display window 4. Then, the display window 4 can be rotated to remove it from the mounting part 11.

[0072] By cooperating with the limiting rib and the limiting groove 313, the groove walls on both sides of the limiting groove 313 can form a stop with the limiting rib, thereby restricting the rotation of the display window 4 in both directions.

[0073] Specifically, in one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the mating part is a limiting groove 313, which consists of two opposing grooves disposed on both sides of the viewing port 312, for example... Figure 6 As shown, the upper and lower sides are provided with corresponding limiting ribs and limiting grooves 313.

[0074] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the mating part is a limiting rib, the display window 4 includes a display panel 32 and a surrounding rib 42 extending from the display panel 32 into the mounting part 11. The limiting rib includes a first limiting rib 43 and a second limiting rib 44. The protrusion height of the first limiting rib 43 is higher than that of the surrounding rib 42, and the protrusion height of the second limiting rib 44 is not higher than that of the surrounding rib 42.

[0075] The different protruding heights of the first limiting rib 43 and the second limiting rib 44 serve to prevent incorrect installation of the display window 4, ensuring that the assembly personnel position the display window 4 in the ideal posture before installation. Simultaneously, using the surrounding rib 42 as a reference, the first limiting rib 43 is higher than the surrounding rib 42, while the second limiting rib 44 is not higher than the surrounding rib 42. Therefore, the assembly personnel can visually identify the location of the first limiting rib 43 and use it as a reference to quickly adjust the posture of the display window 4, improving the assembly experience and efficiency.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the display panel bracket 31 is provided with a flange 311 extending toward the interior of the mounting portion 11 to form a receiving cavity 314, and the display panel 32 is fixed in the receiving cavity 314.

[0077] The display panel 32 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 314, so that the display panel bracket 31 surrounds the display panel 32. This improves the protective effect of the display panel bracket 31 on the display panel 32, preventing the edges of the display panel 32 from colliding with other components and causing damage, thus extending the service life of the display panel 32. On the other hand, the flange 311 can also focus the light emitted by the display panel 32, allowing the light to be projected more strongly onto the display window 4, making the displayed content clearer and preventing the light from scattering outward from the edges of the display panel 32.

[0078] During assembly, the display panel 32 can be fixed to the display panel bracket 31 by screws, clips, etc., so that the two form a component. Then, the display component 3 is fixed as a whole inside the pot lid 2 or the pot body 1.

[0079] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pot body 1 includes an outer cover 13 and a base 14 located below the outer cover 13. The mounting part 11 is located on the side wall of the outer cover 13. The display assembly 3 is located inside the outer cover 13. The display panel bracket 31 has a first connecting part for fixed connection with the outer cover 13 and a second connecting part for fixed connection with the base 14.

[0080] The display panel bracket 31 is fixedly connected to both the outer cover 13 and the base 14, which improves the installation stability of the display component 3, reduces the possibility of positional displacement of the display component 3, and ensures the display effect. This embodiment does not limit the connection method between the first connecting part and the outer cover 13, or the connection method between the second connecting part and the base 14, which includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​fixing, screw fixing, etc.

[0081] Preferably, the display window 4 is a structure made of a black material with a light transmittance of 10%-15%.

[0082] In this embodiment, the display panel 32 not only provides excellent display performance but also serves as a decorative element to enhance the overall appearance of the device when its backlight is off. Specifically, when the display panel 32 is illuminated, the light is projected onto the display window 4, allowing the user to clearly see the displayed information from the outside. Simultaneously, when the display panel 32 is off, the black display window 4 creates a holographic effect, further enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the device.

[0083] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the material of the viewing window. It can be made of light-transmitting black glass, light-transmitting plastic, or other materials. No limitation is made here.

[0084] For any parts not mentioned in this utility model, existing technologies can be used or referenced.

[0085] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0086] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
